Founding of Raleigh 

The site on which Raleigh is built was de- 
libcratcly cliosen as the most desivable and 
suitable for the Capital of the 
State, by a. spccial commission 
appointed for this purposc. The 
General Asscmbly, sitting at 
Tarboro in 1787, recommended 
the pcople of the State to "ñx 
on a place for the inialterable 
seat of government." In 1701 
the General Asscmbly passed an 
act providing for the appoint- 
ment of nine commissioners to 
lócate and lay olV the Capital 
City. They were directed to 
purchase not less than six hun- 
dred and forty ñor more than 
one thousand acres, and to lay 
olí' a town of niit less than four 
hundred aeres. The m a i n 
streets were required to l)e 
ninety-nine feet in width and 
the remainder sixtj'-six feet. 
Twenty acies, or more, were to 
be allottcil for jjublic s(|uares. 
On March 30, 1792, the present 
site was choscn, one thousand 
acres being purcliased for $2,- 
750. The site was surveyed and 
public squares and streets laid 
off. Tho commissioners made 
their report to the General As- 
scmbly of 1702, and it was 
adopted, it being enaeted that 
"the several streets represented 
in the plans and the public 
square whercon the iState House 
is to be built shall be called, 
and forever know-n, by the 
ñames given to them respec- 
tively by the commissioners 
aforesaid." Lots of one acre eaelí were sold 
to individuáis, and with tlie proeeeds of the 
sale the first State House was built, the Gen- 
eral Assembly of 1794 being tho first to meet 
there. This State House was used until 1831, 
when it was burned. The present ca])itol was

THE CENTRAL GROUP OF BUILDINGS. ST. MARYS SCHOOL 



St. Mary's School 

The oldest established edueational institution 
in Raleigh, and one of the oldest in North 
Carolina, is St. Mar^-'s School for girls, beauti- 
fully situated on Hillsboro street, one of the 
prettiest residential streets of the city, and 
about one mile west of the State Capitol. St. 
Mary's School was founded in JNIay, 1842, by 
Kev. Aldert Sniedes, D.D., who was Rector and 
principal of the institution for thirty-six years. 
After his deatli his son, Rev. Rennett Sniedes, 
continued his father's good work for twenty- 
two years. In 1897, at the request of Dr. 
Smedes, the School was taken over by the 
Episcopal C'hurch, a charter being granted by 
the lA'gÍHlalure, incorporating the Trustees of 
St. Mary's School, eonsisting of the Bisliops 
of the Dioceses in North and South Carolina 
iind clerical and lay trustees from eaeh State. 

Raleigh, being one of the healthiest cities in 
the State, as well as being tlie capital city, is 
an ideal location for such an institution as 
St. Mary's School, and the situation of this 
school, in the iiiidst of a twenty-acre grove of 
original forcst of oak and piíie, with a frontage 
of twclve luindred feet on Hillsboro streel, 
woulil, indeed, be liard to improve upon. The 
biüldings, fourteen in number, including llir 
lauíidry and central heating plant, are liiic 
brick structures, lieated by steaiii. liglited Ijv 
eleetricity, connected with the city waterwork> 
and sewerage systems, and provided with tile 
iiiost niüdern methods of ventilation and saiii- 
tation. The cliapel, dining rooiii, classroonis, 
studios, parlors and librarv are spacious and 
comiortable, while the dorniitories and sleeiiiiig 
iiMJins are large, well ventilated and well fui- 
inshed. The courses of instruction are aca- 
ileniic I including the preparatory and coUege 
departiiients ) , niusic, art, expression, and busi- 
ness training. The dail}* life of the students 
is that of a Christian household, witli regular 
habits and regular hours. The enndluient last 
year was 2:i7 pupils, lóO being boarders, while 
tlie recent additions niake now total aeconniio 
dation for I".') boarders. 

The Rector of St. Mary's School is Rev. 
tieorge \V. Lay, and associated with him is a

various parts of the United States. Any owner 
of a large tract of city or town property can 
secure the services of the Suburban Realty and 
Auction Company, who cut the property into 
building lots and sell by auction. Tlieir novel 
method of advertising and of selling lots at 
wliirlwind speed makes it possible to cióse out 
the wholc property in much less time than it 
would take to sell in the ordinary way, and 
also realizes better prices for the owner. It is 
also a good method for the buyer, as it insures 
to him that surrounding lots will be built 
upon, thereby increasing the intrinsic valué of 
every lot sold. Sales are undertaken at any 
point, the company having a large and capable 
staff of representatives who look after every 
detall and perfect every point before the date 
of sale. The officers of the Suburban Realty

Raleigh Motor Car and Machine Company 



W'ith tlie ailvfiit (if tlic autuiiiiiliilc, lu'u in- 
dustries have sprung iip, liaving as tliiir ni)- 
jüct the sale, storage and repair of tlicse ma- 
chines. Raleigh has a worthy lepiesentative 
of this business in the Raleigh Motor Car and 
Machine Company, who oceupy largc premises, 
1-JO by 50 feet in dimensión, at 10!) Kast Mor- 
gan Street. This is a two-story brick buihling 
mid inchules a large and conmiodious garage, 
machine sho|) and ollices, Tliey \\'.\\v amjde 




WOLCOTT 



space in which to dis])lay the machines which 
tliey have for sale, and also to store the ma- 
chines belonging to otlicr [larties and taken 
care of at this establishment. They are State 
agcnts for the far-fanied '"Jackson" car, and 
anticípate, froni present appearances, having a 
sale for 1910 of one hundred of these cars. The 
Kalcigh Motor Car and Machine Company was 
(irganized in 1909 and was incorporated in No- 





vemlx'r of that ycar, with a capital stock of 
.$¿5,000. This company, in addition to its 
garage and sales business, does quite an ex- 
tensive livery business, renting machines by 
the luiur or day. Parties are taken to any 
scction of the surronnding country and every 
iliauft'eur employed is an expert and has a 
tliorough knowledge of his machine. The capi- 
tal of tlie company is largely controlled by 
l)r. A. \V. Goodwin, the president, one of 
Kaleigh's well-known praeticing physiciaus and 
a gentlenian who is interested in several local 
loncerns. The vice-president and manager is 
11. D. Wolcott, a gentleman who has been a 
rcsident of Raleigh for only a few nionths. 
lie had the honor of being the sixth man in 
tl:e United States to opérate a motor car, and 
lias been in the business for the last sixtcen 
years. What he doesn't know about autumo- 
liiles is hardly worth knowing, and what he 
does know alxjut them niakes him the best 
[iiissible man to fill his present important posi- 
tion. The secretary-treasurer of the company 
is L. McA. üoodwin, a young man who is \v(dl 
known and pnjmlar thronghout the city.
